Seems strange. I want to use q35, but whenever I try even to start the installation (vm disk using virtio-scsi/virtio, net adapter using virtio) it always shows me the installer doesn’t detect any disk. I have an existing VM too that recently upgraded from 12.2 to 13. It uses i440FX with virtio-scsi disk and virtio network. If I try to change the machine into q35, it keeps stuck at boot after “promiscuous mode enabled”. Don’t know what’s wrong. Using oVirt 4.4.5. Can you share your VM Config ?

Running the dmesg messages through my mind as I remember them, the vio hardware may be all PCIe based, which would explain why this won't work on a virtual FX 440FX system, because those didn't have PCIe support AFAIK. Any special reason why you'd want them based on 440FX? And I also tested with GhostBSD, which is still 12.* based, and that doesn't seem to have vio support, at least I could not see a hard disk there, which confirms your observation there. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- users(a)ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave(a)ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://apac01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ov... oVirt Code of Conduct: https://apac01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ov...

Sigh, please ignore my blabbering about PCI vs PCIe, it seems that the VirtIO adapters are all PCI not PCIe independant of the chipset chosen... In any case I posted the KVM xml configs generated via e-mail to the list and they should arrive here shortly.
